150+ Social Good Companies with Fair Trade, Buy One Give One Products or Who Donate a Portion of Proceeds.

It is important to purchase with a purpose and know where your products come from because the products you buy may very well have been made in sweatshops, by people who are enslaved or even made by child labor. I am always looking to support social good companies that have fair trade products, participate in the “Buy One Give One” movement or donate a portion of their proceeds to worthwhile causes. I could never find a great list of all of these companies in one place so I decided to make one. Here are 150+ social good companies. Support them and share them and spread the word to buy with a purpose!

If you know of any other social good companies, please leave them in the comments below. I will update this list as I research and find more! This list contains some affiliate links and I receive compensation for any purchases.

Rethreaded Inc. is an awesome company! I highly suggest they be added to the list. They employ women who are survivors of the sex trade and have partners with other companies with similar mission all over the world! I think they do wholesale too. Check ’em out! http://www.rethreaded.com/pages/the-mission

Love this list! Also, check out Society B — it’s an online boutique of fair trade goods and goods that give back. And they give 10% of all sales to the charity you choose at checkout. So you can shop for many of these brands (and only pay on shipping fee) and give back again with your donation!

What an awesome list! Please check out my new website http://www.changetheworldbyhowyoushop.com which is an ethical shopping guide for Christians in the U.S.. Like you, I am trying to make ethical shopping easier. I have at least 25 more great organizations on there which I did not see on your list. I also included links to your page on my website and Pinterest boards. Thanks for the great shopping ideas and for what you are doing to make a difference!

Also check out http://www.worldlybox.com They source for unique and handcrafted jewelry from all over the world and deliver them to your door step once a month! Best thing about them is they are all fair trade, and each box is personalized to match your style! What a great find :)

Hello! We would love to have Gravy + Grace included in this amazing list. We sell “home goods with heart”, donating a portion of each sale to food banks to address food insecurity. At least four meals (but usually many more) are donated per sale. Thank you! <3

This website is beautiful. Everything you buy from them (inspirational shirts, etc) gives that money to a hostel created especially for girls in Uganda who have no opportunity for education. 100% profit goes to giving these girls living supplies.

Would love to be considered on a back to school list like this :) We love kids and we want to help them in their journey through education. Buy a Sydney Paige Backpack and we will donate an identical bag to the one you purchased AND fill it with school supplies and donate to a nonprofit that helps kids in need. Thank you for spreading the word on buying products with soul!

I’m so happy to see this list. I’ve bookmarked many of the products sold on amazon as potential Christmas gifts! I wanted to mention another organization that sells a beautiful line of jewelry made by women who are transitioning from slavery to freedom : http://www.dignata.org This organization provides sustainable employment allowing the women to gain freedom, obtain life skills and be reunited with their children

I’m looking for a jewelry or home decor store where either all or part of the proceeds go in some way to help our military. Rather that be medical bills, food, phone calls home, etc. if anyone knows of a place that does this please email me!

I love this list! I’ve been looking for awesome Christmas gifts for this year where I can feel good about spending money on products. If you redo this list at any point, I would love to see Love Bottle added! It’s a reusable glass water bottle that is 100% USA sourced and manufactured. They also donate 5% of every purchase to either Global Water, Arbor Day Foundation, or No Kid Hungry. Thanks!!!

Thank you so much!
